These attributes were basically security ID [15,18,23,32,33], load balancing ID [1,20] and organizational alignment ID [13,15]. In addition to the results of research questions 2 and 3 above, we decided to investigate a possible relationship between quality attributes in the literature and model views presented.…”

Abstract-The accelerating progress of network speed, reliability and security creates an increasing demand to move software and services from being stored and processed locally on users' machines to being managed by third parties that are accessible through the network. This has created the need to develop new software development methods and software architectural styles that meet these new demands. One such example in software architectural design is the recent emergence of the microservices architecture to address the maintenance and scalability demands of online service providers. As microservice architecture is a new research area, the need for a systematic mapping study is crucial in order to summarise the progress so far and identify the gaps and requirements for future studies. In this paper we present a systematic mapping study of microservices architectures and their implementation. Our study focuses on identifying architectural challenges, the architectural diagrams/views and quality attributes related to microsevice systems.

“…These services are known as a style of an architecture that develops an application as a set of small services independently [7]. Now, microservices are becoming very popular with cloud platform which is an emerging style in the context of application development due to its independency, scalability, flexibility, performance, and manageability [3], [5].…”

Abstract-A microservice architecture (MSA) style is an emerging approach which is gaining strength with the passage of time. Micro services are recommended by a number of researchers to overcome the limitations and issues encountered by usage of aging method of monolithic architecture styles. Previously the monolithic applications cannot be decomposed into smaller and different services. Monolithic styles application was the one build application. The issue resolution has the focus on lightweight independent application services in the form of sizable services, self-contained units with primary focus on maintenance, performance, scalability, and online services eliminating dependency. All quality factors have been thoroughly discussed in literature, system application migration is becoming an emerging issue with different challenges. This study is addressing the tight coupling to reducing this issue. Moreover, this literature review indicates some complex problems about the migration or conversion of system application into microservice. In architecture, dependency is a big challenge and issue in recent technology. Microservices are recommended by a number of researchers to overcome the limitations issue about how to migrate the existing system application to microservice. The need for a systematic mapping is essential in order to recap the improvement and identify the gaps and requirements for future studies. This study shows open issues first, new findings of quality attributes of microservices and then this study helps to understand the difference between previous traditional systems and microservices based systems. This research study creates awareness about system migration to microservices.

“…Microservitization is a shift towards transforming services/components into microservices -more fine-grained and autonomic services that isolate fine-grained business functionalities by boundaries and interact through standardised interfaces [1]. Microservitization is rapidly increasing; many distributed and cloud-based systems have evolved from monolithic to microservices architectures.…”

Abstract-Isolating fine-grained business functionalities by boundaries into entities called microservices is a core activity underlying microservitization. We define microservitization as the paradigm shift towards microservices. Determining the optimal microservice boundaries (i.e. microservice granularity) is among the key microservitization design decisions that influence the Quality of Service (QoS) of the microservice application at runtime. In this paper, we provide an architecturecentric approach to model this decision problem. We build on ambients -a modelling approach that can explicitly capture functional boundaries and their adaptation. We extend the aspect-oriented architectural meta-modelling approach of ambients -AMBIENT-PRISMA -with microservice ambients. A microservice ambient is a modelling concept that treats microservice boundaries as an adaptable first-class entity. We use a hypothetical online movie subscription-based system to capture a microservitization scenario using our aspectoriented modelling approach. The results show the ability of microservice ambients to express the functional boundary of a microservice, the concerns of each boundary, the relationships across boundaries and the adaptations of these boundaries. Additionally, we evaluate the expressiveness and effectiveness of microservice ambients using criteria from Architecture Description Language (ADL) classification frameworks since microservice ambients essentially support architecture description for microservices. The evaluation focuses on the fundamental modelling constructs of microservice ambients and how they support microservitization properties such as utility-driven design, tool heterogeneity and decentralised governance. The evaluation highlights how microservice ambients support analysis, evolution and mobility/location awareness which are significant to quality-driven microservice granularity adaptation. The evaluation is general and irrespective of the particular application domain and the business competencies in that domain.
